Im guessing it was superuser 3? did you update the binary? or actually go into the superuser app to see what was wrong? You would have been prompted to update.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BrandoHD:
I am, I only install tweaks from VR Tweaks and the mods that are specific to this rom

Sent from Samsung Galaxy S II
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kahvitahra:
Okay, let's sort this out! :)

So, You flash vr3.0, then you try to use some app that requires root. It will not work, because you don't have superuser. Then you go and download that from market and try that app again. It WILL say you don't have root. Now you have to go to "manage applications" and clear data of that app that needs root. Now when you lauch that app again it will ask for root user permission.

IF you install that superuser before you try any app that reguires root, then you don't have to clear data.

PS. Nimpho's kernel does have CWM! Let's talk in right terms. CWM app is what you are talking. :)

@pulser_g2

This version 3.0 is KI4 as you stated in First Post?

or KI3 from what people are telling me? Cause I tried flashing Jkay APM for KI4, did not work at all.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
KI4 is a post edit fail from when that post was for VR 2.5

VR 3.0 is KI3 which is also currently the only 2.3.5 based rom we have access too.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kingofthebraves:
Reverted back to 2.5, still the best VR to date! Had two random reboots and shutdowns with the 3.0.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Ok one why did nimp not have CWM then when flashing the rom why did it not come with it? Second before anyone starts having a go read my posts to say that i apologised for getting it wrong since pulser explained to me that superuser needed updating and i think he said he would look into that.

Again im not an expert in rooting in advanced levels but i know what im talking about...Humans do make mistakes and i put my hands up when im wrong which i did. cwm i know its in the attachments and thats were i got it from and used it...now when opening it up it said my handset needed rooting. open superuser from the market and did not give me any notification to update so i could make it work..either way i flashed a different kernel and it worked so no big deal..

anyway its all been sorted out so i dont know why this is going on.......thanks to the people who helped me out regarding a few problems i had on the rom its one of the best if not the best out there at the mo.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] QuentinCosta:
sry for the language but what an idiot...

CWM is not included? what a big fail... noobs!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] OCmylife:
Hmmm? I`ve got more Problems with 2.5, then with 3.0. 3.0 works quite good for me untill now and I`m really happy with it. Nimphetamine 2.05 works also ALOT better then 2.13
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
People were trying to help you :)

You mean CWM app not cwm recovery

CWM app = cwmanager a chainfire app

CWM = Clockwork mod recovery (black screen with orange text)

Remember this and youll go far! people keep mixing them up!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Lennyuk:
what are you on about?

CWM - ClockWork Mod as in the recovery is included......

CWM APP as in an extra app that was made by Chainfire that is not necessary is not included now, but is easily added in yourself as it is just an apk!

So who is the idiot? I suggest it is you!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Steve thanks and :o my bad i should of said the chainfire app. again i apologise for getting wrong..and i know you guys only trying to help out and i appreciate it

Lenny thanks again man i did get the chainfire apk through the first few posts and thats what i meant by not coming with nimp..i know the recovery menu does...i think it was all a big misunderstaning and thanks to you all for your help..i love this rom and always give me the best smoothness and battery life...and to the guy who called me an idiot if it was directed to me..no comment.no point replying to that:p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
I actually read his post as being directed at people saying there is no CWM, but either way wasn't required.

I came back to this thread since last night and had about 15 pages to read, of which most were people talking about the ROM not being rooted and no CWM blah blah blah.... Things seem to be going backwards with understanding and people's ability to learn. Obviously it doesn't help with people throwing around incorrect claims and mis-informing others.

Wonder how much I'll have to read when I get back home tonight and how much of that will be useful or informative. Please to all those with questions take a little time to think...read...listen to common sense (it's in there somewhere) and only then once your search has come up blank post your question. I've read every page of the VR threads (including the 10k post thread) since installing my first VR ROM and now only do it to keep upto date with any news and info but believe me is worthwhile.

However, I'm confused - I don't want to wipe the phone, and I'm happy with the supplied rooted kernel. What do I need to do in order to update the radio/drivers etc?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sergiu84:
That didn't fix it.. I'm back to my VR3.0-flashed-over-2.5 which is otherwise fine. I noticed that if I unfreeze all the original Samsung apps and then wipe the Market data/cache, it starts working... So now I'm going to back up all the apps, and actually uninstall them to see if that makes a difference as opposed to just having them frozen.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
if you go back to the Development section im sure there is a thread regarding collection of modems..i think pulser created it to make it easier for people to find what they want modem wise...

Found the battery drain!!!

I am sure that like many that read this thread, I have found it amazing the kind of battery life some users were able to achieve.

Myself was always very far from those targets, struggling to get 1 full day usage.

Today I finaly found the reason I could not get the same sort of battery performance: Google latitude

I always had my google maps latitude logged in and it frequently woke up the device to update my current location. It did not show up on the battery stats so I and no idea that it was causing the battery drain.

If you are like me and have set up the latitude try shutting it down and see if it improves

In my case the difference is quite drastic.

I have been unplugged for almost 9 hours and the battery is still above 90 %.

with latitude on I would probably be down to 30% right now!

Cheers

steve bud i need your help again please. done everything installed superuser and updated it and everything seems to work fine...When i click to go to CWM the manager not recovery:D(just to clarify that this time) lol it says superuser denied access but still carried on as normal...should that be ok or do i need to do anything?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
Sorry mate i cant see why this isn't working for you :confused:

did you do a fresh install of the rom from cwm recovery, wiping data cache and dalvik cache?

If you have done this it should work after installing superuser as its a completely fresh install.

The rom is rooted and it comes bundled with a kernel we know works.

If the above didnt work for you you could try flashing Chainfires kernel booting then flashing back to ninpo as it has worked for others.

EDIT: Just a thought have you denied cwm app in superuser? have a look inside the app or download titanium and try that see if it prompts you for root
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Think what i will do is a fresh install of the rom...and then try again...separate question are you using setcpu?

EDIT: Seems to be working ok now...strange day today with all this flashing business
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
Hope it works mate, you did see my little edit? might be worth a quick try before a full wipe.

Yes i am using setCPU but i suggest you get to grips with the basics before diving into that ocean ;)

Removing Yellow Triange at start up with Villain V3 Rom.

I read Chainfires instructions on how to remove the yellow triangle: from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

I used this kernal to flash and root my device using Odin, before installing VillainV3, CF-Root-SGS2_XW_CLK_KF3-v4.0-CWM4.tar

If I simply extract the zImage file from this file and then go into CWM and flash this zImage file, will that remove the yellow triangle ? Or do I have to through all the steps as Chainfire originally suggested ?

Just wanted to check before I take this short cut, which sees logical, since it is a Samsung kernal.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Thanks buddy its ok i just flashed a different kernel i had on my phone and reflashed nimp and seems to be working ok now....I have been using setcpu on BatistaRom and was doing great getting great battery life..Just today flashing this bad boy got me abit confused with superuser thats all....

Thanks anyway for your help...

Ps just wanted to know what frequencies you used thats all:p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
You need to flash a stock kernel from odin, then flash Chainfires kernel in zimage form from the cwm app after you reboot.

you need the stock kernel as the odin flash to remove the triangle as its 'offical' (if you could call it anything)

I mean guys the questions itselfs are okay but they need 5 posts and not 10+ pages.

The best guys are when pulser says he is working on it and two pages later they ask if there are any news, about it. Do you think he forgot to mention that he found the solution to the problem which he is working on?

As, I think Steve, said before read the thread or at minimum from where the newest version has been released. I mean you're messing around with a 500£ device. I know it's a lot to read but if you're doing it every day then it isn't so much.

OK. I get it. Thanks.

For any other S2 Noobs like myself, if you download the full packages of modem, firmware etc as a compressed exe file, then when you extract them you'll get a modem.bin file contained in it. You can flash this using Odin using the "phone" option and it updates the modem/hardware without touching the OS or bootloader or anything else.

Some of these modem.bin's have been made available as separate files or CWM-compatible flashable zips. They do the same thing.

All very simple when you know how but not immediately apparent to the novice...
